For children, play is more than just fun; it’s an educational experience. Kids learn more with hands-on play than they do with screen time, and that’s exactly why 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids is the book you didn’t know you needed.
Author Asia Citro has compiled the best ideas for playtime with your kids, from homemade finger paints to the coolest slime recipes around. All of the recipes and activities in this book are reader favorites from the Fun at Home with Kids blog, so even if you have never tried to make your own slime or play dough before, you know you’ll be in good hands. You might have even seen a few of these recipes featured right here on AllFreeKidsCrafts.com!
From magic foaming dough to slime that glows in the dark, kids can smoosh, stretch, and squish their way through the activities in this book. Playing with slime or engaging in other hands-on activities is a great way to help little ones boost their fine motor skills, but kids (and adults!) of any age will love these recipes. This book even denotes the slimes and doughs that are taste-safe, so you’ll be able to make playtime safe for even the youngest member of your household.
150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids includes a list of essential household items (such as cornstarch, flour, shaving cream, and gelatin), so if you think you need tons of complex materials to make these unbelievably cool creations, think again. All of these fantastically fun activities are pretty cost-efficient, too. Homemade slimes and play doughs in this book will last for a few weeks to a few month, depending on the recipe, and kids can incorporate toys they already have into the sensory activities in this book.
Whether you need to entertain a toddler or have a curious older child, whether you need indoor activities or something fun to do outside, 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids has an idea your kids will love. With just a few turns of the page, your little ones will wonder why they even wanted to watch TV in the first place.
150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids can be found on Amazon and at Barnes and Noble.
